Check!

Poor Patch is so sick with influenza B. He's had a fever of 103 going on 5 days now. Last night I ended up sleeping in his bed because his head hurt so bad and he was restless. It was a rough night.

The kids have been great at helping out with Patch, it's really hard when your youngest is sick and still needs to be watched. I was having a hard time getting anything done, but Tyler and Caely have stepped in and done some good babysitting. Just don't look at my house!

Since Patch is sick, I haven't been able to get a run in since Wednesday. I had such a bad night with him, I just needed to get out so this morning I went for a run.

I decided to try my goal again of a 5K in under 25 minutes. I warmed up for almost a mile, then reset my watch and took off.

The first mile was slower than I allotted for, so I was a little worried but kept with it. By the last mile I just had to keep breathing and telling myself I only had to run for 2 more minutes to keep myself motivated.

I did it! I ended with a 24:09 and couldn't be happier. Now if I could just get this poor boy better.
